SAtaarcoeny's balance view
Great Read.
I love playing my Mesmer even if they might be underpowered just as I am sure you love playing a Mesmer considering you’re apparently the best in the world at it lol.
On a sidenote, why the fascination with entangling roots. Every class has MANY ways to get out of this ability, if it hits in the first place any teleport, condition removal, block, invuln or dodge will instantly negate its effect. It is one of the easiest countered elites in the game
because im awful and never dodge roll (i literally dont have it bound to anything and never use it) i never use condition removals and i never do anything you mentioned.
dead. serious.

LOL! Well then I would say in your case this would be a death sentence because it may do up to 15kish on its own, plus the ranger’s damage during that time!

yeah if i didnt love mesmer so much then i definatley wouldnt play it i would be playing ranger. its the same with hman and his warrior. and its the reason we get so mad at anet. instead of them actually testing numbers and usefulness they just read the forums. (biggest lol ever) but they dont read the informed forums just the joke ones.
but i remember you asking me about mesmer yesterday but the game crashed and i couldnt get back in. i will msg you when i got on later today to talk about mesmer.

well 99% of encounters are since i usually just run up to enemy players and emote /cheer at them while they kill me.
every now and then (aka never) i run into someone doing the same thing.

So, i just got into the game… wanted to simply make a character and PvP my kitten off, this was really helpful when it was time to chose a class.
Point capping is the lamest crap. This is why I left tpvp. Lots more interesting things to do in wvw.
It is really amazing how PvP makes a PvP system better. I mean I love jerking off around a blue circle as much as the next guy… but sometimes actually fighting/killing someone is a nice change!
but they dont read the informed forums just the joke ones.
I’m pretty sure they just don’t really know what they are doing.
If you seriosly want balance (I think there are much larger issues than that, but that’s just me) ask some state of the game esque players to ask Anet for a chart of what roles they think classes can play and what roles they want them to be able to play. To write in what specs (weapons/utilities) work towards what roles and how effective they are at them atm, what interclass synergies they like, what interclass synergies they want.
A massive question in achieving those ends, one that will take some time though, is “where do you want boons/conditions to be? Should some conditions/boons be nothing but cover conditions/boons? (that seems to be their goal atm)”
At the moment they seem to aim for a few heavy pokes at boons with general hate being minimal, it’d turn most boons into cover boons for heavy might stacks, stability and possibly protection (at least after retal turns into a much shorter duration deal). It’s the same thing with conditions (vulnerability/weakness/crip are more often just junk/cover conditions than not). There are many answers and work arounds, but first Anet needs to work out and disclose exactly what they are trying to do… ONLY THEN can the knowledgeable players pitch in how to reach those ends (instead of chucking suggestions at the dark, which will more often than not, not aline with Anets vision)
Without that I can only see them continue balancing like kittenheads.
Personally, my first goal would be on improving conquest though.
A game needs a population and the biggest deturant is the pugging setup, and within that, imo, mainly the map setup.
Something like making ‘personal points’ could help. People gain personal points over time and threw kills, gaining more points from kill (and over time?) the more they have (nothing outrageous, just up to 20-50%~ more) but can only turn them in, converting them to score, at a controlled point.
You lose most if not all on death.
It’s a bit of a leach on the MOBA sort of ‘carry’ idea, but seemingly would help shoutcasting and whatnot.
Then just something to break up the general afk-bunkering at a BO deal without causing complete zerging, and I could see PvP being much better. That or just defaulting more towards a moba and working in specific roles (a pregame screen where it shows the classes you have and what roles need to be filled)

That’s how i see it.
HoT is just a cash grab.
Almost nothing in this game will ever be fixed.
Anet fix things only if it might increase gemstore sales.

You greatly underestimate thieves. But, its to my advantage that the general community assumes we are incapable of so much/ limited to a single glass cannon build.
Carry on
( no we aren’t OP either…don’t start)
